bark (the electrician’s tape that held parts together during the construction was removed as those parts were tied together). Once the white pine bark was attached, Louie said it would be cured in the shade for about 10 days — the sun would heat the canoe too quickly, twisting it out of shape — so the pitch from the bark would seal the skin, making the vessel waterproof.

A yearlong project to provide more cost-free leisure activities to Creston’s downtown core is closer to completion after the recent paving of 1.3 kilometres of trails south of Cook Street. Town engineering manager Colin Farynowski said on Tuesday that concrete pads are being installed this week so that park benches and trash containers can be installed. The entire project, which includes the trails, an off-leash dog park, green gym fitness equipment, lighting, signage and parking areas, is a partnership between the town and two local Rotary clubs. A $400,000 community and recreation grant was boosted with $134,000 in contributions from the Creston and Creston Valley Rotary clubs. “The paving is the most visible aspect, so it seems like it all coming together quickly now,” Farynowski said.

Canoe a reminder of LKB heritage BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor There hasn’t been a sturgeon-nosed canoe on the Kootenay River for decades, but a project by Lower Kootenay Band member Wayne Louie is about to change that. He was commissioned by the Ktunaxa Nation to build a 12-foot canoe for the Sept. 28 Columbia Salmon Festival in

Invermere, and has been working on it since early June, completing the frame on July 24, with a goal of attaching the skin on the weekend. “It’s made of all natural resources like my ancestors used to do,” said Louie, who has been assisted by Richard Jacobs. That means no nails, screws or anything prefabricated is part of the design — the western maple and cedar frame is tied together with cedar roots and bitter cherry

Trails project From page 1 Paved trails will have posts installed at entry points to prevent access by motorized vehicles, but there are no plans to restrict bikes, skateboards, scooters and the like. “This is planned as a multi - u s e trail,” Farynowski said. “We will see if anything becomes an issue as time moves along, but there is no intent to restrict anything but motorized recreation vehicles at this time.” The trail has two segments. One, known as Steve’s Ride in memory of the late Steve Hernandez, a longtime town employee and avid cyclist, starts at a paved parking area off 11th Avenue South and runs down along Dodds Creek and up to the newly constructed dog park that is accessed from Cedar Street, west of the railway tracks. A parking lot has also been paved at that location. The other segment starts at Cook Street, near the town’s RV parking site, and runs north of the railway tracks, behind Millennium Park, across Cedar Street and on to Creston Valley Public Library. A green gym, featuring sturdy outdoor equipment similar to the one in

Centennial Park, will feature 17 pieces constructed by Triactive Fitness. Signage will include instructions on how to use each piece for a healthy outdoor workout. A fountain is being installed inside the dog park this week and just outside the fence will be a water bottle filling station for pedestrians. At regular intervals along the trails, park benches and trash receptacles will be installed, along with “dog waste centres” which include plastic bag dispensers. A total of nine signs are under construction. Five will include trail maps and the others will feature general information. Lighting, with the same design as the current light standards behind Millennium Park, will be installed in the dog park and parking areas. Light standards will include banner extensions. “Couns. Judy Gadicke and her committee are working on the designs for the banners now,” Farynowski said. “This project is a tremendous example of how a community works together,” Mayor Ron Toyota said on Tuesday. “Our town staff did a great job of putting together a grant proposal that was successful and they have worked with volunteers and the Rotary clubs to create a partnership, to the benefit of our residents. They all deserve our thanks.”

Concert series proving popular

The Creston Community Band played at Picnic in the Park on July 7.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

There is no magic behind the organization of this year’s Picnic in the Park series of concerts each Monday in Millennium Park. “I wanted to be able to sit and watch music being played,” said organizer Kaitlin Viers. “I went out and talked to local businesses and groups to pay for the park rental and then found musicians.” She also co-ordinates music for the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market and some individuals and groups have agreed to play at the Monday night events, as well. Viers organized similar concerts a few years ago, but this year’s Picnic in the Park series has really taken off.

TIGZ

“We were getting 50-80 people a night during July and it’s gone really well,” Viers said. Musicians play for, well, a song. Some are paid nominal fees but most play on the promise of food from the two food trucks onsite — Purple People Feeder and the Fork. “Or sometimes we cook a meal for a larger group,” she said. With a group of friends, Viers hopes to form a non-profit society to help sustain concerts in the future. She credits support from Home Hardware Building Centre, Snopek Auction Services, Kingfisher Used Books, the Creston Valley Fall Fair Association, the farmers’ market and the Town of Creston, and said

Prohibited driver arrested, 189 marijuana plants seized, nude swimmers reported BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston RCMP responded to 78 calls for service from July 21-27, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday. July 21 •When patrolling police saw a couple of vehicles parked under the Lower Wynndel Road underpass late at night, they checked up on them. One Saskatchewan driver was found to be prohibited and was arrested, and a small amount of marijuana was seized from the vehicle. The other vehicle also contained a small amount of marijuana that was seized. Its passenger was arrested for being drunk in public and held in police cells overnight. A substance found in the vehicle is being checked in a lab on the suspicion it is a narcotic. •A chequebook was reported lost in Riondel on Ainsworth Road. •An Ibbitson Street resident reported that in the last five weeks some items were stolen, including a gold ring, scissors and another ring with an aquamarine stone. •A conflict between two businesses was reported from Canyon Street. •In an ongoing problem, a disoriented elderly female was reported walking on CanyonLister Road. •About $5,000 in damage resulted when one semi rolled back into another at the weigh scales at Highway 3/95 junction. •A metal detector was reported stolen from a vehicle on Ninth Avenue South. •Extensive damage was sustained by a vehicle that collided with a moose on Highway 3. The driver was taken to hospital for observation. •When police conducted a well-being check on a 91-yearold female, they learned she was in the hospital. •RCMP are asking anyone with knowledge about vandalism to benches at Erickson Elementary School to report it.

He was issued a ticket. •The theft of items from a truck was reported from Moyie Lake. •When a well-being check was conducted on 44th Street, the female resident was found in need of medical care and taken to hospital. July 23 • Police attended a Lyons Road residence to assist Lethbridge police in an assault investigation. •A male who reported being tailed by another male driver on Leadville Forest Service Road was advised to seek a peace bond in the courts. •An 82-year-old male driver who reportedly pulled out from a Canyon Street parking spot without doing a shoulder check told police he didn’t notice another vehicle when he was located. •Police concluded that damage to trees blamed on an Eighth Avenue South neighbour was more likely caused by insects and neglect. •Police were unable to locate a southbound black and orange Mustang reported to be passing unsafely on Highway 3A near Twin Bays. •A dog was reported to be locked in a vehicle on Pine Street. •A complaint about the division of goods in an estate was made from Canyon-Lister Road. •When police investigated a report of a nude female jumping off Goat River Bridge into the water, they found she was topless, which isn’t against the law. When told the complaint came from a mother with young children she voluntarily covered herself. •A motor vehicle’s window was broken on 11th Avenue South. •Investigating police determined an argument, not an assault, had taken place at the Garland Bay campground. •A male with an arrest warrant from a Vancouver Street assault turned himself into Creston police and was later released with a court order not to have contact with his victim.

Shauna Clapp and Eric Moon are a duo from Kaslo.

Jazz, torch standards part of Kaslo duo’s concert MOON GLOW

Moon Glow performs Torchlit throughout the Kootenays this summer. The duo has been performing together for five years, with Shauna Clapp on vocals and Eric Moon on guitar. They perform classic and original arrangements of torch and jazz standards — and some more recent heartbreaks — with tingling soul. Clapp channels the torch singers from the seedy speakeasies of New York and Chicago, where the path of love never did run true, and Moon’s guitar gives voice to the heights of love and the depths of loss. Moon is a mild mannered teacher of computers and other technology but his first love is music. His mom sat him down in front of a piano at age five where he learned the basics. Then it was on to violin for six

years, three years of clarinet and sax in high school band, then a million years of guitar and voice. He also took a couple years of music in college. His musical influences are many and varied. Growing up in a very musical family, Moon had parents that listened to classical, big band and pop, and siblings that listened to opera, folk and rock. Early influences include Rush, Loverboy and Rick Springfield, and later, the Police, Sting and Dave Matthews Band. Guitar heros include Jimi Hendrix, Alex Lifeson, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Vernon Reid. Moon has played in musicals including Grease (guitar), The Wizard of Oz (bass) and Guys and Dolls (Casio DH-100 horn), and was musical director for a production of Fiddler on the Roof. Clapp has been singing since

she was asked to drop out of piano lessons after taking four years to learn middle C. She began voice training under Helen Negrave and has continued throughout her life, and was voted the best unsigned vocalist in South Mirror Lake. Shauna began performing a few years ago, and hopes to have a vibrant carreer in song underway before she hits 70. She grew up with some of the music she now sings, as her grandmother was both a soloist and a lifelong musician. Her mother and daughter continue the tradition with piano. She has appeared locally at Starbelly Jam and Kaslo Jazz Festival as well as numerous local eateries. Tickets to the Aug. 9 concert are $10 in advance at Kingfisher Used Books, Black Bear Books and Buffalo Trails Coffee House, and $13 ($7 for teens) at the door, which opens at 7; showtime is 8.

Yukon rock band performing SUBMITTED

The PPL, an alternative acoustic rock band form Whitehorse, toured Western Canada last fall, and is back at it this summer, including a visit to Creston’s Snoring Sasquatch on Aug. 6. The duo, Rich Jaeger and Marcus Steiner, has released two albums, most recently, The PPL II. “There’s something dark in all of the songs on this album,” said Steiner. “But there’s something innocent as well. In the end, Rich and I just want to put out music that speaks to a broader audience, music that gets people moving, that can take you on a little trip outside of yourself.

“We are creating the type of music that we want to hear. The kind of music you want to hear. After all, you, me and everyone else are all the PPL.” Tickets to the Aug. 6 concert are $10 in advance at Kingfisher Used Books, Black Bear Books and Buffalo Trails Coffee House, and $13 ($5 for teens) at the door, which opens at 7; the show starts at 8.

On Monday, he spent a couple of hours amusing himself with three yellow plastic ducks, throwing, chasing, herding, amused as only a toddler can be. Every few minutes his sister would swim over to play, but he was equally happy to create his own amusement. As suppertime drew near, neither were in the slightest happy to leave the water, even with the promise that we would be back the next day. So is life better for this new generation, with the splash park and playgrounds at Centennial Park and the great facilities in the community complex? Our kids never thought they were hard done by when they were swimming or playing ball or hockey, but both are thrilled that their children can come back to Creston and enjoy what we have today. And, for the grandparents, the improvements are genuinely appreciated. So three generations would give a enthusiastic thumbs up for the facilities, and huge thank you to the people who have worked so hard to create them.

Makeup just another form of art

If you asked me seven months ago whether I wore makeup, the answer would have been a resounding no! Makeup was fussy, it took too long, it smudged or rubbed off, it was expensive, and I wasn’t allowed to wear it, anyway. If you asked me now, the answer would be yes. Sort of. Not a full yes, because that gives the wrong impression of why and how I wear makeup. First off, vanity or selfimage was not the inciting factor. I couldn’t care less if I go out in public without cosmetics all over my face. In fact, I still kind of hate wearing makeup, because it makes people assume that I do care. No, the first makeup I bought was for my first onstage dance performance in February. I got it as part of the costume and a performance necessity, to keep from looking like a blur to the audience. As stage makeup goes, it was actually way, way less than I could have been wearing — three products versus about eight or nine. After the performance, I started wearing the makeup for everyday, partly so I didn’t waste it, and partly because

putting it on is kind of fun. A full on, entire-face look can be almost therapeutic, although I only do it for projects. So I wear makeup for recreation? Yes, something like that. Think of it

dragon. It’s also a great way to get into the right mindset for a dance performance. If I wore it for vanity or because “everyone else” does or to be noticed, I would own foundation that correctly matches my skin tone. Which it doesn’t, nor does my concealer. I find lipstick annoying, and I bought my mascara because the label said it was sweat-proof. On the occasional day I wear normal makeup, there’s a reason beyond trying to look better. I could be wearing it because the day is special for some reason and I want to acknowledge that. Maybe I’m testing makeup I recently bought for a project. It could be part of my “theme” for the day or because I could colourcoordinate it with my outfit (it’s a perfectionist thing). Maybe I was just bored. What it boils down to is a tiny bit of art that I can incorporate into daily life. My theory is that art can be anything, and if I’m an artist, then there’s no reason I can’t be my own canvas.

The Teen

Take

Hailey Viers this way: Take a good look at an eye shadow palette. What does it look like? Paint. It looks like those dry palettes of paint. Makeup looks like art supplies, and that’s how I view it. It’s art I can do on my face. I still view most “normal” makeup as largely unnecessary and boring; you end up looking like a perfected version of you. What I prefer is using cosmetics in ways I’d never wear for everyday. Like covering my face in glitter and rhinestones for a star-inspired stage look, or trying to make myself look like a

Musician credits other Creston-area performers To the Editor: (Re: “Studio at Home Offers Creative Outlet for Musician”, July 17) Thank you very much for your kind article about my past and recent artistic endeavours. I would like to mention some other great Creston or ex-Creston musicians who have participated in, and greatly enhanced, my various projects. My son, Jason, has been key in all of my work. On the Howling Wannabes projects, Dave Lyons is a special musical partner, writing songs, singing and playing guitar, violin and harmonica. Guitarists Mark Nicol, Rodd Keen, David Furlong and Rick Potyok, bass guitarists Allan Kimmel and Jan MacDonald, plus saxophonist and keyboard wizard Aram Masse, and drummer Neil Ripski all deserve special mention for their help. The Sun Pipes for the Dreamers project has been significantly aided by Alison Masters’ recent editing. Creston is alive with excellent musicians and songwriters. Very high quality albums have been produced by local musicians, including Mark Koenig, Elena Yeung, Brian Ferguson with Full Circle, and Peter Bodley, just to name a few.

The Creston Valley is alive with creative energy, and many talented artists in our valley are producing numerous original works of music, painting, sculpture, fiction, non-fiction, pottery and drama. All of this creative energy is contagious, and it is good to be here in the Creston Valley at this time. Gary Deatherage Lakeview

Valley offers a lot for residents and visitors To the Editor: When I first visited the Creston Valley five years ago, I was enthralled by the beautiful mountains, friendliness of the people, and close relationships in the town. Now, as a father, I still value those things, but I value other things more. I value the enormous resources available to families, from the reading program at the library to swim lessons at the rec centre to the wonderful playgrounds. Now I’m sure most readers can appreciate all of these things. So why am I writing this? I’m writing because my family just returned from three years in Indonesia. Most people are familiar with Indonesia from Bali vacations, the book/movie, Eat, Pray, Love, or a friend or relative in the oil industry.

But our time in Indonesia really allowed us to revisit our view of Creston. You see, in Indonesia we had no grass for our children to play on. In fact, they were terrified of the grass when they first saw it here! In Indonesia, we had to drive an hour in traffic and pay $200 a month just to visit a playground. And not any special playground, but one with fewer activities than Centennial Park! In Indonesia, we couldn’t drink the water or brush our teeth from the tap. And we couldn’t find cherries for less than $40 a box. I say all this not for anyone to feel sorry for us, but instead to reinforce the bounty of the Creston Valley and how much the community offers to its members. I also want to remind the residents who have known nothing else how much really is here, and how much work it takes to keep and improve upon what already exists. It is the social capital that really shines, the associations, friendships, societies and neighborhoods that make this place special. And that cannot be captured in physical terms, but in the collective warmth that exists here in abundance. L.J. Hanifan wrote about the importance of social capital in 1916 saying, “I do not refer to real estate or to personal property or to cold cash, but rather to that in life which tends to make these tangible substances count for most in the daily lives of people, namely, goodwill, fellowship, mutual sympathy and social intercourse among a group.” May this always flourish here, and may the good folks of this valley not take it for granted. I know that we never will. Jesse M. Lapierre Creston

Tiptoeing around technology

Last summer a family in Ontario decided to live for a year without any technology developed after 1986, the year they, the parents, were born: so nothing digital, no iPhone, no Internet. No gadgets.

The Voice of

Experience Betsy Brierley They said they wanted to get outside more, interact with each other, reclaim family life. They watch television on an old set with no cable, no DVD player. On family holidays they navigate with foldout maps, not GPS. The children are young enough that they don’t need a computer for school purposes. The father of the family also says it’s “way” cheaper. I have not found any updates on their experiment, but credit to them for giving it a try. Other people embrace technology. They purchase a device or a system when it first becomes available and upgrade on a regular basis. I am not one of those people. When colour TV was all the rage, I said black and white was just fine. When the remote control became the order of the day, I was aghast. People should get off the couch to change the channel, I thought. When air conditioning became standard equipment in most car models, I resisted. Just open the windows, for Pete’s sake! And keyless

entry — are you kidding? I also fought the computer. I used to write 12-page letters in longhand and get wonderful long letters in return. The computer changed that. All of a sudden, we didn't have time to write letters by hand. We were busy learning how to use the darn thing and sorting out the myriad wires and connections that formed a dusty tangle on the floor. As I tiptoed into computer writing I could not argue against how much easier it became — that is, the actual physical process of writing. It was such an improvement over the typewriter. Yes, you could write faster, move paragraphs around, delete and add words. No more Wite-Out, no more dread about mistakes, no more carbon copies, no more wasted paper. On second thought, the computer was supposed to make paper unnecessary, but there’s something about the human condition that insists on copy in hand. Online sites say global consumption of paper has increased since 1980. Businesses and government seem unable to go paperless. A business writer proposes eliminating email as a means of communication for companies. She suggests instead postcards, mailed to targeted clients, to make the contact more personal and effective. I like the idea; anything to upgrade the lowly postcard, which has lost so much status it barely reaches recipient before sender’s vacation is over. It took me literally years to stumble into an email account. When I finally signed on, I wrote longish messages, not exactly what the technology was meant for. And I received longish responses, which I appreciated. But I didn’t trust

its permanence. What if my hard drive crashed? So I started printing off the messages I wanted to remember, the interesting tidbits and creative emails that would eventually be lost forever. After accumulating 30 centimetres of stacked paper, I stopped the printing process. Despite the angst, I learned to have faith in other methods of keeping important stuff while saving closet space and a tree or two as well. Maybe I was on the way to conquering my neoLuddite tendencies? (Check out the original Luddites either online or in that encyclopedia you haven't yet discarded.) Alas, this year my operating system, Windows XP, became old. A perfectly fine software bites the dust. Warnings about lack of technical support keep arriving and change is necessary. I face paralysis once again. However, I have come a long way. Colour television is nice. Remotes are now ubiquitous, and we have acquired several. Unlocking the car the keyless way turns out to be an improvement I can live with. Air conditioning goes with climate change: opening the car windows is no longer satisfactory for trips across southern Alberta in July. A recent experience with GPS in a rental car was downright entertaining; it also saved time and argument. Like that Ontario family, we don’t text or tweet or have a Facebook account. We still own a VCR. We don’t own a dishwasher. Unlike them, I won't be giving up on e-mail any time soon, but am I ever going to buy a car that parks itself? Not in a million years. ;) Betsy Brierley lives beside Kootenay Lake. She used to write for the Advance a long time ago.

Program rolling right along through summer

Just because it is summer doesn’t mean that Cresteramics is not a busy, happening place. Our store on Canyon Street is serving many tourists, sharing original artwork of the community and answering questions about Creston. Cresteramics members and staff are positive community ambassadors. The agency centre on Railway Boulevard is open for business five days a week.

Cresteramics Chatter Terry Nowak There are changes during the summer; members are away on holidays and so are staff, and there are different activities and places to go. All of the challenges are met by staff and supervisor Donna McCready through conversation, co-operation and sharing. Knowledge of each member ’s

needs, preferences and abilities is evident in morning planning meetings. When I watch these committed people talk about what needs to be done each day, I am thoroughly confused, but they tackle the schedule, determine who needs what and get on with the day. All this happens while greeting members as they arrive, listening to stories or requests and answering questions. Cresteramics has been recognized provincially as a leader in transitioning youth from school into adult programs and has a strong partnership with Prince Charles Secondary School that facilitates this process. Cresteramics has also been hosting a summer youth program for a few years. This year, our youth summer program was fortunate to receive funds from Columbia Basin Trust Youth Initiatives Program to operate the program full-time. It is an oppor-

tunity for young people, still in school, to use the resources offered by Cresteramics to develop a peer group for activities and fun, learn about their community and work together on projects that serve their community. The Telus Community Action Team, based in Cranbrook, also contributed to this project. Early in July, the project had already formed partnerships with the Creston Valley Public Library, where they help out in the summer reading club and with the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market. This partnership has exploded to include the Town of Creston, local artists, business people and retailers. Farmers’ market manager Jen Comer jumped right in and helped develop a project, a budget and a presentation to town council. This project will see the youth group painting murals to cover the concrete walls on the north side of the market space. Local artists Cory Cannon, Allison Masters and Sandy Kunze consulted and contributed ideas. Brandy Hunt, graphic artist, businesswoman and youth supporter, designed the mural and made color suggestions. Local businesses Home Hardware Building Centre

and Pyramid Building Supplies readily donated paint and other materials needed for the project. The willingness of individuals and businesses to contribute is typical of Creston. The young people involved are learning valuable lessons about sharing, caring and contributing. At the opposite end of the age spectrum is another project that has also received community support. The CrestonKootenay Foundation donated funds that will allow for the development of a space for members who, because of dementia symptoms, require a quieter, more sedate area. New floor covering, a music system, covered shelving and appropriate furniture will be purchased to provide an area with reduced noise and distractions to make some of our members more comfortable. Thank you, Creston-Kootenay Foundation. Our drumming circle continues to be a favorite activity for many members every Thursday afternoon. Tambourines, shakers and a guitar are played along with drums and fun is had by all. In the summer, members trek to Centennial Park to make their music, and in the winter,

St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church donates space for this program, another generous donation within our community. If you have experience playing drums, we could use your help. Combining musical training with the enthusiasm of this group, the sky is the limit. Over at the Know and Grow Community Farm at the College of the Rockies and at the community garden, our plots are producing plenty of vegetables that the members harvest and share. The crews that keep the benches and garbage cans clean for the town are proud of the work they do and appreciate the recognition Creston gets as being a clean, well-cared-for town. Some of our Cresteramics members also work at Spectrum Farms and the Creston and District Society for Community Living woodwork shop. They, too, are proud of the work they do and that they are contributing members of their community. Cresteramics Society and its members, along with the support they receive in this community, help to make Creston a great placed to live. Terry Nowak is a board member of the Cresteramics Society.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.
